Post 5...
If we rented a room, I'm not sure if non-subscribers will be able to talk on the mic, but at least it gives just about EVERYONE a fighting chance to come in and meet others in the group.
One of the reasons this is very important to me is because I see so many people here who are dealing with so much in life and are feeling very alone. Oh my goodness, do I know what that feels like. And as much as I wish I had the time to PM everyone individually and hear their stories and ask if they're all right, I'm not always able to do that, so to me, the threads and meetups are the next best thing, and a way to reach out to more people.
I had a dream a few nights ago that was like re-living my divorce all over again--he was leaving, and nothing I could do would change his mind--he loved this other girl, and he was out. the. door to go to her. Do you ever have those dreams where you wake up and you can't tell the difference between the dream and reality for several minutes? I felt like I was going to hyperventilate because the feeling was SO real.
I truly believe God gave me that dream to remind me of what others here are going through. I was talking to Him about how He got me through all those hard times, and the answer came back as, "One day at a time... one after the other."
I honestly feel for a lot of people here. I can relate to so much of what they're going through, and I know most days it doesn't feel like you're going to make it.
We all probably think we're just posting on a forum... But I wholeheartedly believe that in some cases... our jokes, our stories, our encouragement--are God's way of getting someone else through something, day-by-day, one day after the other.
And that's why it's so important to me to try to give people the opportunity to get to know each other, form connections, and even hear each other talk, if only in a chat room.
I'm really hoping we can set more things up soon, and that EVERYONE, at some point, is able to make it. We would love to see you.
God bless and much love to you!!! <3
Hope to see you soon.
